Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Melksham is a very ordinary footballer. Too many are getting sucked in by his story and the fact he's a new recruit. He is depth only. Hibberd is a much better recruit.

Not what we saw against the Blues.  The other way around.

I still think VDB will end up causing more turn overs off his own boot than any pressure acts.

Slightly tangential to what this is meant to be about but given the AFL's widespread set shot issues...  Is VDB the only player who is a better set shot than he is in play?. Like there are the Watts' of the world that are good kicks anywhere but everyone else seems to get worse from a setshot while VDB gets so much better.

Jetta is an integral part of the back line . He breaks up play and his scramble defense is nearly second to none. Plays taller than he is.

Jetta remains best 22

I wont argue about jetta's place in the team because he is so much loved around here, but on melksham: I agree that he is a pretty average footballer but I (assume others as well)  would be astounded if he wasnt played in the first 5 rounds or so. They put so much into getting him and Hibbard to the club they will be keen to give them both a decent shot at AFL level before picking others ahead of them

Garlett would be a loss if he doesn't make it to round 1.

Having said the he's been absolutely atrocious against St Kilda since he's come over. I think he's managed just 3 goals in 4 games with Geary giving him a an absolute bath in all games, including kicking 2 on him in one particular game last year.

I don't like sending players out there at the start of the season with any question marks on them, so Garlett isn't in my 22. Kent is in, provided he really has recovered now.

Like others, I'm concerned about our lack of tall defenders ready to go. Only the Golden Arches and Joel Smith have had any pre-season game so far - on that basis, right now you'd have to have Smith in the team to give some kind of height. None of Frost, Garland or Pederson have had a run yet.

At the moment I don't have Hibberd. Melksham I hesitated at first but his second game has given me confidence to put him in.

For me Vandenberg is in, largely on account of 2 goals, 2 goal assists, and a ridonkulus 10 score involvements against Carlton. That means every effective disposal he had, ended up being a scoring shot. I'll take that across half forward any day.

Watts is in, because as much as I think Weideman is great, I don't think he's currently playing full AFL-level games. Assuming, of course, Watts plays the final JLT game, and does something about that hair.

Hogan I've got playing close to goal, with no real CHF position out there as I expect to see the whole half-forward area being used as a space for our scary monsters to run around in. Scary monsters, and Watts. If his hair was blue the whole scene would look like it was cut from 'Avatar'.

And now for the real shock. I'm including Cameron Pederson. On the field as a forward pocket, but really there as a tall utility. We must have a tall defensive option to swing back in case any of the St Kilda tall forwards start to really dominate their opponent. Pederson's versatility and unselfishness means it's no loss to have him in that forward line, and he draws a tall defender. I also see it as a plus to have both Watts and Pederson available to take just a few hitouts each when GAWN needs to attend an Entmoot.

This was my initial reaction too, but Membery is only 188cm, so I don't think needs a massive tall on him and if Hibberd is fit I think would be our perfect match up on him. Not saying Smith would be out, but in form and fit I think Hibberd gets a game. I expect he might be like Milkshake and be much better in his second JLT game.

I like LG's use of Stretch in the backline and if it turns out Jetta is not out man we should consider pushing Stretch further back to take on the small forwards. I like Jetta and believe his one on one skills outweigh his deficiencies on the rebound. But if he is to be replaced Stretch has speed, disposal and discipline. Given the competition for spots in the midfield I reckon he would provide another (developing) asset deep back.

I can't see Jetts playing in this game. They're too tall up forward to play him.

I'll have Bugg over stretch. Didn't see any outside run or creativity from him tonight. Isn't that what he is supposedly in the team for,? Bugg has a go and was good, again.

Pretty much Spencer gets the nod over Weed and then we see if any of the 3 who could make it back before round 1 do. 

Bernie Vince needs to do an old fashioned tagging job on Riewoldt. He's off no use at half back. Salem and Lewis have to cover the half back spot.

Melksham annoys me but if they want to play an aggressive hard running zone backline then he gets the nod over Jetta who just doesn't have the tank to play that way.

I've been saying this all preseason but I really want to look at Hannan, hopefully he plays at Casey tomorrow. He's drafted to play half forward, he's got the skills, I would have no problems throwing him in for a round 1 debut if he shows a bit at Casey if the alternative was picking guys who aren't performing in the role.

You really think they'll play Spencer in round 1 against the Saints at Etihad ?

I very much doubt it will happen.

I think too much gets made of the v the Saints and Etihad factor. Sure they are quick and it's a fast and small ground but plenty of teams win games there against them with a tall line up. They'll probably be playing Carlisle and Nathan Brown who aren't exactly speedy rebounding defenders. The talls can chase the talls and the smalls can chase the smalls! If it comes down to Weed v Spencer playing as the 2nd tall (with Watts rucking or not) then I think Spencer has done enough.

If we don't want to pick Spencer for concerns about pace and run then I wouldn't pick Weed either and I'd go with Hogan, Watts and hope Petracca can compete in the air.

I feel as though Spencer diminishes Gawn.

Gawn's not great resting forward, he's much better drifting forward with the flight of the ball and taking a mark inside the 50 while still playing on-ball.  When he's stationed there I don't see him being much of a forward threat.  And Spencer is no full-forward either.

Fair enough if they don't include Weideman or Spencer, but given the choice of the two I'd rather Weideman, as I feel he works better with Hogan.  Spencer will just get in Hogan's way and is useless with defensive pressure. 

Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.

I like Stretch but feel these pre season games he has struggled, VFL for round 1, Harmes, ANB likewise...

 

Please no Garland / Omac in the same team again..

 

Imo one of Spencer / Weed doesn't play, makes us to top heavy up forward, need to be more nimble up there, create pressure. 

 

Get VFL practice games into Frost, Hibberd, Garlett, Kent if fit.

The question is how much Spencer should ruck. If Gawn can still ruck 70% then that's almost ideal as he can still run around in the ruck and be in the game and is only forward for about 20% -  really just a short change up, maybe when Hogan is either off or on the ball so the 2 don't get in the way. 

That would mean Spencer rucks 30% and probably plays forward for no more than 50% of the game. Can he grab a mark or a free and kick 1 or 2 goals and not get in the way deep? Will he chase effectively and efficiently or just give away free kicks. I kind of want to find out. The Swans and Hawks are 2 teams that play 2 rucks most of the time including some pretty ordinary forwards (think Ceglar/McEvoy etc) and they manage to just get their rucks out of the way up forward. I'd love to learn how they get their ruckman just to sit on a forward flank whilst the ball gets directed to the star forward.

The other thing playing Spencer does is allow Watts to stay forward, maybe with a little change up on the wing. The ruck was good to get him involved in games last year but it really isn't his go and if he's down on intensity and physicality will it really help him? Without the 3rd man up even against Josh Bruce he'll be in trouble in the ruck.

I'd laugh at the idea of picking Spencer even a month ago but he's fit, he's training better than he ever has, he gives his best, he's physical. It goes against everything I think about round 1 which is to pick a fit running side, but I just think Spencer is the fit running player compared to Weeds.

Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.

At the moment Weiderman isn't a full forward either. He floats across the front of the goals without providing commanding leads like a Dunstall. If he is going to float like that I'd rather a bigger body like Spencer who is more likely to clunk the mark or make sure as hell they don't.

Weiderman is clearly better than Spencer when the ball hits the ground but that is not the primary role of the position.

Defensively I'd prefer Spencer. He is more aggressive and without having a stop watch on either I'd say faster.

There is no question in the long term Weiderman is our preferred option. Round 1 I would lean towards Spencer. We obviously can't play both. Perhaps we wont play either.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
